Preparation

Step 1

Heath oven to 350°F. Coat 2 (8-inch) round baking pans with baking spray with flour. Drain pineapple, reserving liquid. Add water to pineapple juice to measure a total of 1 cup.

Prepare cake mix according to package directions using pineapple juice mixture, oil and eggs. Divide evenly into prepared pans. Bake 34 to 38 minutes or until toothpick inserted into center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes. Remove from pans to wire rack to cool completely.

Beat ricotta cheese, frosting and reserved pineapple in medium bowl with electric mixer on medium speed until blended.

Level cake layers by removing rounded tops with serrated knife. Split both each cake layer horizontally to create 4 thin layers. Place 1 layer on serving plate. Spread with 1/4 of filling mixture to within 1/4-inch of edge. Repeat layers three times, ending with filling mixture on top of cake. Chill until ready to serve. Garnish with whipped topping and lime slices, if desired.
